"DPM is an outstanding public school. We have lived in LF for approximately 10 years with all three of our children attending DPM. Our kids have been fortunate to have received an outstanding education, including robust sports, arts and music programs. Teachers and administrators have been attentive to our childrens' 504 plan needs, and try to look after the interest of the student above all. DPM is split into grades 5/6 and 7/8 as East and West Campuses where the East and West students are separated. This provides a better (and safer) social environment for the students. I saw some of the negative ratings associated below and feel it's not representative of the opinions of most families and students. I'm sure the incidents of bullying at DPM are no different (or less) than most middle schools. And the positive aspects of this institution by far outweigh any negatives. And most importantly I feel the students attending DPM are well prepared for their entrance into High School."

"This is a travesty. The principal is extremely unqualified person and should not be leading this school. She has made several false accusations resulting in the expulsion or suspension of students, and has been taken to court and lost for it. The principal does not deserve to run this school."

"First off, I'd like to say to the parent that said all students there are rich and stuck up- you are the one being ignorant. There are plenty of down to earth people at this school and you have no idea what you are talking about. I think every school has bullying problems, us included, but that doesn't mean they're a terrible school. DPM is making a concious effort to stop it. Overall, deer path is a great school with great teachers."

"The students at the school lack discipline. Incredibly rude and have no respect for the adults surrounding them. The parents are worse, and think it's funny when they misbehave. This bunch of rich stuck up brats don't see the consequences to their actions, and I'm sure it's due to lackluster parenting. I would rather send my child to CPS than to this school."

"Bullying is a HUGE problem here- I graduated a few years ago and I was taunted about everything from my forehead to my shoes. I suffered from an eating disorder for years, in part due to the bullying I faced at this school. Discipline is nonexistent aside from punishing entire grades because of the bad choices of a few students. Would never ever send my child here."
